I've heard this a lot, especially with the xanthan gum. That being said, don't give up on the diet just yet, there are so many products that are absolutely delicious. It's just a matter of trial and error until you find the right products and/or recipes that suit you. Just in case you get the craving for the non-GF food again, read my <a href="http://celiachandbook.com/opinion/do-you-like-to-cheat-on-your-gluten-free-diet-you-might-think-again-once-youve-heard-of-refractory-celiac-disease/" rel="nofollow">latest post</a> and it might keep you honest about staying gluten-free.

Could it be the xanthan gum? Just goes to show you that whole foods are the best.
